1917 World Series
There were accusations of this series not being completely "on the level," especially after the Black Sox scandal of 1919. The most notable play involved Heinie Zimmerman of the Giants chasing Eddie Collins across home plate in the deciding game. Zimmerman was later banned from organized baseball for throwing games.
